We are extremely proud to announce that our team has been named National Corporate Finance Advisory Team of the Year at the East Midlands Rainmaker Awards 2025.

This recognition follows a very successful year, during which we expanded our sector reach, strengthened client relationships, and delivered high-impact transactions across the UK. Notable deals included the sale of CCS Media to Advania, KAM Project Consultants to Contollo Group, and ADHD-360 to Keys Group: three standout East Midlands-based transactions that reflect the firm’s deep regional expertise, alongside our powerful regional and national impact.

The firm’s achievements have been recognised across the UK, with this award following Team of the Year wins in the West Midlands, Yorkshire, and North West, completing a sweep of major advisory honours at the 2025 Rainmaker Awards.
